"This work is a comprehensive study of an important Spanish architectural monument. The palace of Charles V in Granada is the first realization of an ideal Italian type and the first High Renaissance palace outside Italy. Describing the design, construction history, and sources of the building, Professor Rosenthal analyzes a conflict of two architectural traditions; the Italian view was represented by Luis Hurtado de Mendoza, to whom Charles entrusted the design in 1526, and by his Italian trained architect Pedro Machuca, while the Castilian was expressed by court architects consulted by Charles."- dust jacket.
